After you're done, remember read the preview of the next chapter and don't forget to review!
A six year old Gaara was sitting by himself; all alone staring up into the night sky in the place where his uncle had died. His blood red hair swayed with the gentle breeze. Jade eyes looked up to the pale glowing moon. He didn't hear someone come up to this place; this place of death. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" a small voice said. Gaara turned around to see a girl with short pink hair and emerald green eyes.
Gaara didn't understand why the girl did not run from him. She must not be from here. "The night is pretty." It wouldn't hurt to try and make friends. "My name is Gaara. What's yours?"
"I'm Sakura from Konoha. My dad's here on a mission." The girl said. Gaara smiled. Her voice was soft and beautiful like small bells. "Can I sit with you?"
Gaara nodded. "You know, a lot of people don't like me." He said when she sat down next to him.
"I know." Gaara turned to her. He was shocked. If she knew, why is she here with me? Sakura saw the confusion on his face. "Everybody told me to stay away from you." Gaara looked down.
"Why didn't you take their advice?" he asked. Fear was taking him and seclusion wanted to hug him.
"I didn't take their advice because no one deserves to be alone." Sakura told him. She looked at him. Gaara was expecting rage and fear, but her eyes gave him friendship and warmth.
"Would you be my friend then?" he asked her. She smiled.
"That would be nice." Sakura said. They sat there for the rest of the night. The moon and the stars watched over them. No fear shoved Gaara away, there was no seclusion waiting to swallow him. Instead, there was friendship pulling him in and a friend hugging him. Slowly they fell asleep. In the place of death, friendship was born, maybe even love.
I'm Back! So what do you think? Review please.
